BESELIEWT To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that We, BENM Brss, a subject of the King of? llungary, andLEOPOLD KO'HN, a citizen of the United Stat-es, residing at New York inthe county of How York and State of New York, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in Resilient /Vheels, of which the following isa specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements inresilient Wheels.

The primary object of the invention is the provision of are lient Wheelespecially adapted for use with trucks and heavy vehicles, the structurepossessing great strength and durabi. ty althouga capable of ydeldinglysupporting the lead.

A further ooject of die device is to provide a strong wheel in which theground engaging member possesses no resiliency but is provided with aspring mounting izieans arranged in a compact serviceable structure.

Nith these general objects in view and others that Will appear as thenature of the invention is better understood, the some consists in thenovel construction, coinbinatioii and arrangement of parts hereinafterfully described, illustrated in the accompanyi g drawing and pointed outin the appended claims.

In the drawing forming a part of this application and in which likenumerals fer to corresponding parts throughout the several views,

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the preferred embodiment of theinvention, onchali of the same being illustrated and with parts brokenaway.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged radial sectional view taken upon line Ill-ll ofFig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a similar view taken upon line Ill-J11 of Fig. 1.

Fig. l is an inner perspective view of portion of the tread plate.

5 is an interior perspective view of portion of the outer rim.

Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a difierent portion of the outer rim,and

7 is a perspective view of one of the attaching blocks employed With thedevice.

The present wheel may be formed of any desirable diameter and broadlyconsists of a central wheel member 10 having a chanholed rim,hereinafter called the inner rim mounted thereon While an outerchanneled fipecification of .ubtt;

rim 1? is resiliently connected to the inner rim hy the plurality ofleaf springs 13 ar- .d Within the adjacent channeled sides of the rims.

Tlhe outer 1 has its channel 1% upon is inner side an arranged withinwardly projecting posts 15 provided with erfora- J- :inged through theper- ,e posts for retaining the ocks 17 are connected toe g: i v v 5leaf springs 13 which are pivotally connected between pro ecting end lupchloclrs by means of pintlcs central portion oi the springs no we:Within the channel 22 of the 1111181 uni l he: rig dly secured theretoby means of bolts 23 passing through the rings 13, the inner rim 11 andthe folly of the inner Wheel 10.

The inner rim ll is preferably formed in tivo sections for seating thesame upon the periphery oi the folly 2%, the sa he being secured to thetelly by means of bolts 25 within transverse bores 31 of the outer rim12 having traversing sockets 29 and passing through the perforations 32of the ears 28.

The operation of the device Will be apparent from this detaildescription thereof, it being seen that by the use or an ordinary Wheel10, the inner rirn ll he mounted thereon while the outer rim 1? is thenresiliently positioned upon the inner rim by means of the connectingsprings 13 endjthe attaching blocks 17. The tread plate 97 may have itsouter face of any form desirechthe saine being illustrated herein aspresenting a smooth and slightly curved surface. A resilient wheel isarranged Which possesses great strength. h
